Item - Fluid - Energy Transfer

  For those who have played a modpack with a lot or few tech mods know my pain of early power and start... Cables and wires just fill your base...

Better explanation here: (For my example I will use sieve / autosieve): a) Making the machine (auto-sieve)  b) Using the autosieve to gather resources c) Crafting an upgrade for the machine (either speed or power upgrade...
